Introduction.

EVERAL independent printing preffes were eftablifhed
in England before the cloſe of the fifteenth century;
and from them iffued numerous books which are

invaluable to all ftudents of antiquity from the light

they throw upon the focial habits and literary
progrefs of our nation. Of thefe it may fafely be faid that not one
exceeds in intereft that work of an unknown typographer, which is
here prefented in facfimile, and which, from the town in which it
was compiled, as well as printed, is known to all bibliographers as
“The Book of St. Albans.” This work has always been a favourite,
partly becaufe our feelings are appealed to in favour of the writer
who for centuries has taken rank as England’s earlieft poetefs, and
is ftill, in all our Biographical Dictionaries, reckoned among noble
authors;” and partly becaufe we love myfteries, and a myftery has
always enfhrouded the namelefs printer. The ſubjects, too, fo
curioufly alliterative Hawking, Hunting, and Heraldry, have an
enticing and antique flavour about them, being juft thofe with
which, at that period, every man claiming to be “gentle” was
expected to be familiar; while ignorance of their laws and language
was to confefs himfelf a churl.“

6 [ntrodu€tion.

As to the language and orthography of the book, it is a never-
failing fource of intereft, being quite different from any other
printed work of the fifteenth century, except the St. Albans’
Chronicle from the fame prefs. Among bibliographers it ranks as
“variffimus,’ the known copies being fo few that they might pro-
bably be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Looking at the book, then, all round, it will be a convenient
plan to confider thefe fubjects feparately, and to treat the volume
in its four aſpects of Authorfhip, Typography and Bibliography,
Subject matter, and Philology.

CHAPTER I.
Authorship.

4 ISTORIANS and Biographers, together with Libra-
rians and Bookfellers, have a natural antipathy to
anonymous books; and, wherever they can, are willing
to accept the smalleft amount of evidence as proof
of paternity. It ſaves much trouble and avoids
numerous errors in cataloguing, when a recognifed name can be
affociated with an anonymous work. From this tendency a bad habit
has arifen of attributing to particular writers books concerning which
the evidence of authorfhip is doubtful, if not altogether untruftworthy.
In this very book we have a ſtriking inftance of fuch erroneous
attribution. The three treatifes, of which the book is made up, are
quite diſtinct, and to a portion only of one of thefe is there any
author’s name attached. Yet that name, Dam Julyans Barnes,”
altered by degrees to Dame Juliana Berners, is now univerfally
received as the name otf the authoreſs of the whole volume. With
even lefs fhow of reafon fhe is credited with the authorfhip of
a Treatiſe on Fifhing” for which there is not the fhadow of evidence,
that treatife having been added ten years later by Wynken de Worde,
who, when reprinting the Book of St. Albans, thought that the subject
of Fifhing would complete the work as a Gentleman’s Vade Mecum.
There are really four diſtinct tractates in the Book of St. Albans,
although the two laft being on Heraldry are generally counted as one.

8 Author hip.

The firft is on Hawking; to this no name of the author is
attached, but it has a prologue which no one acquainted with the
other writings of the printer can doubt to be his. Of this we fhall
have more to fay anon.

The fecond tractate is on Hunting: it is fpecially affociated
with the name of Dame Juliana Berners, and will require a more
extended elucidation than the others.

Here the evidence of authorfhip is as good as for moft pieces
of fifteenth-century production a period at which literary rights
did not exift, and when the ſcribe, if at all acquainted with the
ſubject upon which the book he was copying treated, did not fcruple
to interpolate his own ideas, and that without any egotiftical vanity,
but merely from a feeling that all books being written for the good
of men, and not from vanity in the author, it was a duty to
improve them where poffible. But as improvement moftly meant
the addition of fomething on the fame fubject taken from another
manuſcript, we have the conftant occurrence of one MS. being a
compilation of two or three others, and yet appearing under the
name of the laft compiler.

In this treatife on Hunting we have the exprefs ftatement at
he end of the twenty-fourth page Explicit Dam Julyans Barnes.”
This might certainly apply to the tranfcription only, but, when taken
with Wynken de Worde’s verfion, the probability is, that the lady
compiled as well as wrote it. In the reprint by Wynken de Worde,
only ten years later than the original, he varies the colophon thus.
“@ Explicit dame Julyans Bernes doctryne in her boke of huntynge,”
the whole reprint ending Enprynted at weftmeftre by Wynkyn the
Worde the yere of thyncarnacodn of our lorde. M.CCCC. Ixxxxvj.“
So that he, a contemporary, evidently believed her to be the authorefs.
Later authorities attributed the whole book to her pen, but as
they were in poffeffion of no more evidence than we now are, and
probably not fo much, we fhould attach no weight to fuch ftate-
ments, which were founded fimply on a vivid imagination.

Authorship. 9

But what is known of the lady who is admitted to have com-
piled the twenty-four pages on Hunting? Who was Dame Julians
Barnes? Here, unlefs a fentimental and inventive fympathy be
employed to throw an artificial light upon the darknefs, we are in
total ignorance. A biography of her has certainly been written,
and all our Dictionaries and Encyclopedias devote a page or two
to her hiftory, which, in 1810, under Haflewood’s nurture, attained
its full development. Even fo far back as 1549, or nearly a
century after her fuppofed death, the learned Bale, who wrote
an account of all our Englifh celebrities, allows his gallantry to
bedeck her memory with garments fine. “Foemina illuftris!” he
exclaims, “corporis et animi dotibus abundans ac forma elegantia
{pectabilis” (An illuftrious lady! abundantly gifted, both in body
and mind, and charming in the elegance of her mien). Confidering
that the name of the lady is the whole of the text upon which
Bale had to build, this is by no means a bad fpecimen of imagina-
tive biography, and became a good foundation for future commen-
tators. The ftory, however, fared rather badly at firſt; for Holinfhed,
in 1577, while echoing Bale very exactly, is made, by a curious
error of the printer, who miftook the letters m for n, to call the
authorefs Julyan Bemes; while Baker in his Chronicles, too carelefs
even to refer to the original text, adds another blunder to the
ftory, and, thinking that Julyan muft be a man’s name, dubs the
authorefs “a gentleman of excellent gifts, who wrote certain treatifes
of Hawking and Hunting.”

Chauncy, in 1700 (Hiftory of Hertfordfhire), reftored her fex
to the lady, and then fet to work upon making a family hiftory
for her. His firft diſcovery was that, being a “Dame,” fhe was of
noble blood. Finding alfo that the family name of Lord Berners
was, in olden time, fpelt occafionally Barnes, he foon fupplied a
father for our authorefs, in the perfon of Sir James Berners. And
fo the game of making hiftory went on merrily up to the time of
Jofeph Haflewood, who, in 1810, reprinted Wynken de Worde's

10 Author/hip.

edition of the Book of St. Albans, and fupplied a full-blown
biography of the authorefs, giving particulars of her birth and
education, the occupations of her youthful days, and a moft impofing
pedigree. Let us quote Haflewood’s own words: “Julyans, or
Juliana, Barnes, otherwife Berners, who has been generally defignated
as the authorefs of the prefent volume, is fuppofed to have been
born, towards the latter end of the fourteenth century, at Roding-
Berners, in the county of Effex. The received report is that fhe
was the daughter of Sir James Berners, whofe fon was created
Baron Berners, temp. Henry IV., and that fhe once held the
fituation of Priorefs of Sopwell Nunnery, in Hertfordſhire.“ He
then attributes to her the authorfhip of all four works in the Book
of St. Albans. The difficulty of accounting for a lady fo placed
writing upon fuch fubjects, is cleverly, if not fatisfactorily ſettled
by affuming that fhe paffed her teens at court, partaking of the
amufements of the field, and writing for her own ufe a common-
place book on various fubjects. Then retiring through difappoint-
ment (doubtlefs a love affair) to a cloifter, her rank raifed her to
the pofition of priorefs. There in her feclufion, writing amidft the
folitude of liftlefs hours and vain regrets, fhe verfified the gene-
ral rules of ſport from her own pleafant recollection, and from the
diaries of her youthful happinefs, which fortunately fhe had preferved.
If we remember the mania which feized all claffes for diary-keeping
at the beginning of this century, when Haflewood wrote this, it will
deepen our fenfe of humour to note that he attributes private diary-
keeping to a young lady who lived ante 1450.

But enough of ſuch fham biography; let us return to facts.

The word “Dame” did not in the fifteenth century, as it does
now, imply any connection with a titled family, it meant fimply
Miftrefs or Mrs. Chaucer fpeaks of Dame Partlet in this fenfe;
and had the Dame Julyans Barnes of the fifteenth century lived
now, fhe would have been juft “ Mrs. Barnes.”

Similarity of name in hiftory, like fimilarity of found in philology.

is a will-o’-the-wifp which has led many a writer into a bog.
Allowing that Lord Berners’ name was fometimes fpelt Barnes,
is that fufficient reafon for making our authorefs a member of
his family? I think not.

That the greater portion of the book on Hunting was compiled
by Miftrefs Barnes, is probably correct,“ and had fhe written
much more, and produced even an original work on the ſubject,
fhe would not have ftood alone, even at that early period, as an
authorefs. Cryftine de Pifan, two of whofe works were printed
by Caxton, was contemporary with Julians Barnes, and left not
only numerous original writings behind her—one of which was
upon the Art of War—but left her mark, and that no mean nor
ignoble one, upon the political courfe and moral development of
her countrymen. But Dame Julyans’ work upon Hunting is certainly
not original, as indeed very few works upon any ſubject were at
that period. This is evident from a glance at the text and the
grouping of the fubjects. It begins with diftinguifhing the varieties
of beafts and their ages; the proper names by which to defignate the
beaſts, ſingly and together; on hunting and dreffing a Roe, a Boar,
a Hare; of flaying; of the horns of a Roebuck; of the Hart; of the
feasons; of the Hare. Then follows, from another fource, an inter-
polation of a difcourfe between a Mafter of the Hunt and his man,
going over portions of the fame ground again; and this ended, we
get back again to the original MS. and the difmemberment of various
beafts. All through, with the exception of the interpolated conver-
fation, the text is addreffed to My deare childe.” Thus we read
“Do fo, my child;” Think what I fay, my fon;” “My lief
childer; Say, child, where you go? my dame taught you fo.”
Evidently that portion was originally written for a mother to ufe

* Taking Berners and Barnes to be the fame word, it is curious to note—in conneétion
with the work attributed to Dame Juliana, viz., The Book of Hunting—that the mafters
of that iport employed men called Berners, to be ready with relays of horfes and to feed
the hounds.—See Halliwell’s “ Dictionary of Archaic and Provincial Words.“

as a ſchool-book, by which her fon would learn to read, and, at
the fame time, become familiar with the terms of venery.

In the Bodleian Library is a fmall manufcript on the Terms
of the Chafe, the beginning of which is :—

Mi dere fones, where ye fare, be frith or by fell,
Take good hede in his tyme how Triftram wol tell.”

This manufcript was probably copied by fome youth as a fchool-
exercife, which would account for the following odd colophon—
“Explicit, expliceat, ludere ſcriptor eat.”

Compare the above with the opening ftanza of the verfes we
attribute to Miftrefs Barnes :—

ͤWhereſoever ye fare, by frith or by fell,“
My dear child, take heed how Triftram doth you tell.“ t
The reft of the Oxford MS. is in fimilar accord with the print,
but nowhere in it is there a word about Miftrefs Barnes.

The words “ Explicit Dam Julyans Barnes” have been confidered
to prove that the lady was alive when the book was printed. If,
however, Sir James Berners were her father, of which there is no
evidence, fhe muft have been clofe upon a hundred years old
in 1486, as he died in 1390. But this is importing a needlefs
difficulty into the theory, which is not rendered more probable
by making the authorefs and printer contemporary.

It may here be as well to fay a few words about Sopwell
Nunnery, over which, without a particle of evidence, our authorefs
is fuppofed to have prefided. Sopwell Nunnery, Hertfordfhire,
was founded about 1140, under the rule of St. Benedict, and
fubje&t to the Abbot of St. Albans, from which it was not far

* „By frith or by fell = by foreft or by plain; but fee Halliwell's Dictionary.

+ Sir Triftram, the well-known knight of the Round Table, was a mighty hunter, and
the great authority upon all ſubjects connected with the chafe. Popular belief attributed
to him the origin of all the fpecial terms ufed in hunting, and his name was invoked to give
authority to any ftatement upon this ſubject, juſt as in a later century the arithmetical rules
of Cocker give rife to the popular phraſe According to Cocker.

diftant. The rule of life among the inmates was very fevere, and
at the firft the nuns were enclofed under locks and bolts, made
additionally fure by the feal, on the door, of the Abbot for the
time being (Chauncy’s Hiftory, p. 466). How long this lafted,
and how the nuns liked it, hiftory faith not; but, in 1338, a
re-organifation had become imperative, and the Abbot of St.
Albans, among other inftructions, ordered that no nun fhould lodge
out of the houfe, and no gueft within it (Newcome, p. 468).
There does not feem much fcope left here for the Priorefs to
take an active part in field fports, though a hundred and fifty years
later, which was about the period of our Dame,” many relaxations
of the ſtrict rules may have become common. But, then, we have
apparently accurate lifts of all the Prioreffes of Sopwell in the
fifteenth century, and the name of Juliana Barnes does not appear
at all in them. The known dates are these :—In 1416, Matilda de
Flamftede was Priorefs. Four years before her death, which was in
1430, fhe was fucceeded by Letitia Wyttenham. The next whose
name is known was Joan Chapell; the date of her appointment is
not recorded, but as fhe was fet afide in 1480 on account of her
age, fhe had probably occupied the pofition for many years. In
1480, Elizabeth Webb fucceeded Joan Chapell.

What is really known of the Dame is almoft nothing, and may
be fummed up in the following few words. She probably lived at
the beginning of the fifteenth century, and fhe poffibly compiled from
exifting MSS. fome rhymes on Hunting.

There is ftill the authorfhip of the other parts of the book to
determine, and if fimilarity of wording and phrafeology may be taken
as evidence, they were all from one pen.

At the end of the book on Heraldry the printer has put the
{ollowing—“ Here endeth the book of Blafing of Arms tranflated and
compiled together at Seynt Albons.” Here we have the printer’s
own ftatement as to the origin of his text, and doubtlefs this, as well
as the treatife on Hawking, were made up or “compiled ” from more

than one manufcript in French. Haflewood gives a lift of ſuch as are
in the Britifh Mufeum, in feveral of which portions of the printed
work are contained. Works on Hunting and Hawking were not
uncommon in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and are ftill found
in all large collections of manufcripts. There were feveral in the
libraries of the Dukes of Burgundy in the fifteenth century, and many
are ftill extant in the national collections of England and France.

The other tractates in the volume have an origin very fimilar
to that of the Book of Hunting. The Book of Hawking is an evident
compilation from feveral manufcripts, which accounts perhaps for its
deficiency in arrangement and want of continuity. The Book of Coat
Armour alfo has two diſtinct fources in contemporary works, one of
which was the De Officio Militari” of Nicholas Upton. From this
the fchoolmafter copied Book IV. almoft word for word, fupple-
menting it from The Book of the Lineage of Coat Armour,” as
ftated already. The only other literary work which can be attributed
to our printer is the extenfive compilation known as the St. Albans’
Chronicle or the Fructus Temporum. But neither in the Chronicle,
where he fimply combined two hiftories into one, nor in the Book of
St. Albans, which is alfo a compilation, does the fchoolmafter fhow
any literary ability above the average of fcholars of his period.

As fpecimens of the ſchoolmaſters powers of compofition we
annex the following, the originals of which can be feen in the en-
suing facfimile pages

Prologue to the Book of Hawking.

both of their hawks and of the fowls that their hawks ſhall flay.
Therefore this book following in a due form fhows very knowledge
of fuch pleafure to gentlemen and perfons difpofed to fee it.”

Prologue to Mistress Barnes’ Compilation on bunting,

„Likewiſe, as in the Book of Hawking aforeſaid are written and
noted the terms of pleafure belonging to gentlemen having delight
therein, in the fame manner this book following fhoweth to ſuch gentle
perfons the manner of Hunting for all manner of beafts, whether they
be beafts of Venery, or of Chace, or Rascal. And alfo it fhoweth all
the terms convenient as well to the hounds as to the beafts aforefaid.
And in certain there be many diverfe of them as it is declared in the
book following.”

Prologue to the Book of Coat Armour.

“Here in this book following is determined the lineage of Coat
Armours: and how gentlemen fhall be known from ungentle men, and
how bondage began firft in angel and after fucceeded in man kind,
as it is here fhowed in procefs, both in the childer of Adam and alfo
of Noe, and how Noe divided the world in three parts to his three
fons. Alfo there be fhowed the nine colours in Arms figured by the
nine orders of Angels, and it is fhowed by the forefaid colours which
be worthy and which be royal; and of regalities which be noble and
which be excellent. And there be here the vertues of Chivalry, and
many other notable and famous things, to the pleafure of noble perfons
fhall be fhowed, as the works following witneffes, whofoever liketh to
fee them and read them, which were too long now to rehearfe. And
after thefe notable things aforefaid followeth the Blafing of all manner
Arms in Latin, French, and Englifh.”

So wrote the fchoolmafter. Let us now fee what kind of book
this is typographically.

CHAPTER II.

Cppographp and Bibliographp,

LD books muſt be loved, and their idiofyncrafies carefully
‘| ftudied, before they will yield up a@// their treafures;
that done, the obfervant lover will obtain poffeffion
of both foul and body; he may revel in the intellectual
feaft provided by the author, or he may ftudy the
material and mechanical features of the books as reprefented by the
peculiarities of paper and the habits and cuftoms of the various
printers. Then, by grouping thefe as a botanift docs his flowers,
according to their organifation into claffes, orders, genera, and ſpecies,

he may extract from his volumes true replies to queftions which
otherwife would remain hidden for ever. So true is the dictum, “ The
Mind it is which fees, and not the Eye alone.”

Many bibliophiles, however, of education and tafte have been
pofitively blind when outfide the circle of their own particular ftudies.
So it was with the Rev. Dr. M‘Neille, a well-known critic and book-
collector of ſixty years ago. When addreſſing Dr. Dibdin he wrote thus
of The Book of St. Albans”—‘ This book is itfelf ufelefs, and only
a bon morceau for the quizzical collector.” With fuch feelings
towards one of the moft curious works which this country produced
during the infancy of the printing prefs, it was fimply impoffible that
the intereft of its pages fhould be revealed to him; and however rich

worthy doctor may have been, it is evident that our Book of St.
Albans could never have been aught but an alien on /e book-fhelves.

The works printed by William Caxton were almoft without
exception in the Englifh tongue, while the contemporary preffes of
Oxford, St. Albans, and Machlinia were nearly all in Latin. Of the
eight books at prefent known to have been printed at St. Albans, the
only two in Englifh were the “Fructus Temporum” and the work

the printer himfelf to pleafe the monks.

The Book of St. Albans’ and the St. Albans’ Chronicle make a
clafs of themfelves ; but as it is impoffible to underftand their poſition
without a glance at the other works from the fame prefs, we will give
a tabulated defcription of the whole eight.

BOOKS PRINTED AT ST.

ALBANS IN FIFTEENTH CENTURY.

But who was the printer? What was his name? Was he affociated
with the great Abbey ? and is there any internal or external evidence in
his works to connect him with any other printer or any other town?

The only notice we have of the printer is an accidental one by

Wynken de Worde, who, in reprinting the St. Albans’ Chronicle, fays
C

18 Typography and Bibhography.

in the colophon, Here endith this prefent Chronicle . . . compiled
in a book and alfo enprinted by our fometime Schoolmafter of St.
Alban.” He was a ſchoolmaſter, then, and this will account for the
nature of his early works, all fcholaftic and all in Latin. Not till the
end of his typographical career did he realife the fact that the print-
ing-prefs, inftead of being the hobby of a few learned men, was the
educator of the people, the whole nation ; and then he gave his country-
men what they wanted—a hiftory of their own country and a book
upon the whole (secular) duty of the gentleman, as then underftood.

The name of the fchoolmafter-printer is quite unknown. No
notice of him is found in the records of the Abbey, nor does he
appear in any contemporary document. Yet here, as in Miſtreſs
Barnes’s cafe, imagination has come to the refcue and a legendary
name has been provided.

Finding that the Prologue to the Book of Hawking began with
the words, “Jn/omuch as gentle men and honeft perfons have great
delight in Hawking;” finding alfo that the St. Alban’s Chronicle
from the fame prefs began thus: “/nx/fomuch as it is neceſſary;
and bearing in mind that certain old authors had veiled Heir names
in the firft words of their works, Dr. Chauncy arrived at the fagacious
conclufion that the St. Albans printer wifhed to veil 4zs name, which
really was “Infomuch.” The joke, for it almoft feems like one, does
not bear even the ſcrutiny which itfelf invites, for although the fchool-
mafter ufes the words in two other places, in neither cafe are they
at the beginning of a chapter.* It fhould be added that in this the
worthy hiftorian of Hertfordfhire only followed the lead of both
Bale and Pits.

Was he connected with the Abbey? I think not. There is not
a word to fuggeft fuch a connection, although we may take it for
granted that the Abbot and his fraternity could not have frowned upon

diction which had become a habit with the ſchoolmaſter.

the printer, or he would never have eftablifhed himfelf. His imprints
all mention the town of St. Albans, but never the Abbey, and his pofi-
tion was probably fimilar to that of Caxton, who was fimply a tenant
of the Abbot of Weftminfter, but, fo far as is known, nothing more.
Was he connected with Caxton and the Weftminfter prefs? With-
out a fhadow of doubt I fay, No! Mr. E. Scott, of the MS. depart-
ment in the Britifh Mufeum, has indeed ftrung together a number
of furmifes to fhow that the Schoolmafter was employed by Caxton,
and that all the books without date or place hitherto attributed to
Weftminfter were really printed at St. Albans. But internal evidence
is againft any fuch gratuitous affumption. There is nothing in common
between the two printers in any of their habits or cuftoms except the
poffeffion of Caxton’s No. 3 type. This is the only one of Caxton’s
types ufed outfide his own office (for W. de Worde, his succeffor
in houfe and bufinefs, muft not be regarded as a feparate printer).
Caxton employed it from his arrival in England in 1477 till 1484,
when it makes its laft appearance in the headings of Æſop, the
“Order of Chivalry,” and The Golden Legend.” In 1485 Caxton
obtained a new fount, fimilar in fhape and character, and from that
time the old No. 3 difappears to make way for the new and ſmaller
type No. 5. This being more fuited to the tafte of the day, we
find the larger and worn fount paffing over to the country prefs of
St. Albans, where the Schoolmafter firft ufes it in 1486, being the
identical year in which its ſucceſſor appears in Caxton’s Royal
Book.” We may here obferve that after the ftoppage of the St.
Albans’ Prefs the fame fount finds its way back again and is feen
in W. de Worde's reprint, in 1496-97, of the two Englifh St. Albans
books. But the difcovery of a copy of Caxton’s Boethius in the
old Grammar School at St. Albans, and the numerous fragments of
old books extracted from its covers, are quoted as confirming the idea.
Yet the book itfelf and all thefe fragments were from Weſtminſter,
not a fingle one being from a known St. Albans book, and they

included the Caxton Chronicles, 1480, the Dictes,” 1477, and the

whole Weftminfter prefs, dated and undated, to St. Albans, if fuch an
argument is to have any force. Thefe fragments, indeed, can only
point to the fact that the copy of Boethius was bound in the printing
office, as was commonly the cafe with the books from Caxton’s prefs.

Again, Mr. Scott draws attention to the fact that a page of the
St. Albans’ Book, 1486, has been copied by a contemporary writer
on to the blank leaves of one of Caxton’s earlieft books. ’Tis true;
but this copying of part of one book into another, printed ten years
before, has no typographical bearing whatever. Laftly, the name
Caufton appears in an old St. Albans’ Regifter of the early part of the
fifteenth century. But this, again, means pofitively nothing. Caxton’s
name was not at all uncommon; there were Cauftons or Caxtons in
nearly every Englifh county, and I have quite a long lift of them.

It is highly probable that Caxton, while at Weftminfter, in the
van of all the literature of his day, would have communications
of fome fort with the important town of St. Albans; but that the
two printers aſſiſted one another in the production of books, is, fo far
as any evidence goes, a pure fiction.

Let us now glance at the bibliographical afpe& of the book.

The work itfelf has no title. It is difficult in our time, accuftomed
as we are to “teeming millions” of books, each with its own title-
page, to conceive a period when the prefs fent out works without
even the fhadow of a title-page. Before the invention of printing,
the author fimply headed his firft page with the name of the work,
as “Here begins the Confeffio Amantis,” or “Hic incipit Parvus
Catho,” and, without preface or more ado, the text commenced.
Sometimes even this little notification was omitted, and, as in
Caxton’s “Jafon,” “The Chefs Book,” ‘Tulle,’ and many other
fifteenth-century books, the ſubject of the work had to be learned
by reading the text. So it is with the book now under review;
it comprifes four diftinét works, but to one only is there any
heading, and that has the bare line “Incipit liber armorum.”

Typography and Bibliography. 21

The firft, “The Book of Hawking,” ftarts ftraight off —“ This is
the manner to keep Hawks,” and occupies three fignatures, a, b,
and c, of eight leaves each, and fig. d, which has but four leaves,
on purpofe that this portion might be complete alone, if fo defired.
The fame idea controlled the arrangement of “The Book of
Hunting,” which, beginning on fig. e j, ends with Dame Juliana’s
“Explicit” on the recto of fig. f iiij. This left the laft ſeven pages
of the quaternion to be filled up. Now it was a common practice,
both with the fcribes and with the early printers, when they got
to the end of their text and found that a page or two of blank
paper was left, to occupy the blank pages with fuch common
houfehold aphorifms or popular rhymes as came eafily to the memory,
or were at hand in fome other book. So here the fchoolmaster-
printer fills up his vacant pages with a number of odd fentences and
rhymes, moft of which occur over and over again in numerous manu-
{cripts of early poetry. Among others we notice the well-known :—

“¢ Arife erly,
ferue God deuouteli,
and the world beſily.“
&c. &c.
Alſo the folks proverb.
Too wyues in oon hous,
Too cattys and oon mous,
Too dogges and oon boon,
Theis ſhall neti accorde oon.”

Then the lift of proper terms to be ufed by gentlemen and thofe

curious in their ſpeech is of very common occurrence.

“An herde of Hertis
An herde of all maf dere
A pride of Lionys
A fleuth of Beeris.“
&c. &c.

This was evidently copied from ſome MS., and ends with “7 Ex-
plicit,” and nothing more. On the next page we have the proper
terms for carving or dismembering beafts, fowls, and fiſhes, followed
on the laſt leaf by a liſt of biſhoprics and provinces.

22 Typozrapny and Bibliography.

Having thus filled up all his leaves, the printer begins his third
ſubject on a frefh fignature, and introduces the “ Liber Armorum”
with the Preface (already printed). A long work on the “ Blafing
of Arms” follows, beginning on fig. ¢ j, and ending on fig. f 10.

This is extremely interefting, both in matter and in the very
rude woodcut reprefentations of armorial bearings with which the
text is profufely illuftrated. Except in one or two cafes of uncommon
tints, thefe are all colour-printed, as are the initials to paragraphs.
In the Grenville copy, the preffman having forgotten to roll the
“forme,” the initials all appear in that femi-tinted ſtate which
would be the natural reſult of fuch an omiffion. We notice, too,
that where the coats of arms require, say, three colours on one page,
then the initials are alfo in three colours; but if only one colour
is required for the arms, only one colour, and that the fame, is ufed
for the initials. Occafionally, where a peculiar colour was neceffary,
a brufh was ufed to infert that tint by hand.

In workmanſhip the St. Albans printer, efpecially in the Englifh
books, is much inferior to the contemporary iffue from the Weft-
minfter prefs. The types are worfe, the arrangement worfe, the
preffwork worfe, and the ink worfe. From this point of view alone,
the theory that he would print for Caxton fo much better than he
did for himfelf, is not worth ferious confideration.

The Book of St. Albans went through many editions, particu-
lars of which are difficult to obtain.

How did the fchoolmafter at St. Albans obtain his types? This
is a puzzling queftion in the preſent ftate of palæotypography. Mr.
Bradfhaw of Cambridge has, by unwearied ftudy of early printed
books, thrown great light upon the connection and genealogy of
numerous founts ufed by fifteenth-century printers, and fyftematic
attention to the minute peculiarities of each printer is doubtlefs the
only way in which thofe old books can be forced to yield up their
fecrets ; but the tafk is immenfe, and beyond the powers of any one
man to complete. Some day, however, when the palæotypography
of this country, as well as of the Continental preffes, fhall have
received that full technical and philofophical analyfis which time
is fure to bring, the more fortunate bibliographer of the future
will be able with certainty to track the footfteps and operations of
the early typefounders, and will be enabled to ftate for certain to
what extent Caxton and the St. Albans printer were their own
typefounders, and to what extent and to whom they looked for
outside help. As the cafe now ftands, we can only confefs our
ignorance of where the St. Albans types came from.

CHAPTER III.
The Subjects Created.
N the rude civilifation of the fifteenth century, a year’s

experience of which would fend moft of us to our
graves, the mental occupation as well as the bodily

recreation of our anceftors was almoft confined to

ze ; hunting and hawking. Fiſhing with an Angle”
came in as a bad third, being too tame a purfuit for men who were
no men if not men of war. Mimic war—war on the beaſts of the
field and the fowls of the air—war which could be purfued in times
of peace, and which yet required knowledge, patience, fortitude, and
courage—this had great attractions, and we cannot wonder at the
general popularity of thefe purfuits.

The firft treatife in the following reprint is upon Hawking, a
paftime effentially ariftocratic from the great expenfe it entailed in
the purchafe, breeding, and maintenance of the birds. This, indeed,
coupled with the diminution of game confequent on the progrefs of
civilifation and the increafe of the population, led to the gradual
decadence of the fport, and nearly to its extinction in the eighteenth
century, although, in very rare cafes, falconry is even now practifed.

As we have feen, one of the moft difficult objects in hawking
was to obtain an eafy command of the proper vocabulary, and fo at
firft ſtart our author inftructs us in The manner to fpeak of Hawks,
from the egg.” We muft not fay a young hawk is hatched, but

diſcloſed; they do not breed but “eyer;” it was a want of culture
in any falconer to fay that hawks were building their neft, they
“timbered” it. When the young could firft leave the neft they were
Boweſſes, and when they could fly they were Branchers,” and
then was the time to catch and train them.

When the young were caught, which was with nets, the firft thing
was to “enfile” them, that is, to take a needle and thread and
few up the eyelids,” fo that they ſee never a dele.” After a night
and a day the threads were cut foftly for fear of breaking the “lyddis
of the ighen,” then they were fed with well-wafhed flefh, but kept
awake the next night and day, after which they were fuppofed to
be tame, or “ reclaimed.”

The various difeafes to which Hawks are liable are then explained,
and medicines prefcribed for them. Some of thefe are very abfurd
and fome contradictory. Then comes a variety of terms for every
movement and habit, for every limb or part of the body, and for
almoft every feather in the plumage. In this minute defcription the
author begins at the feet of the bird and fo works upwards, as when
“ Knyghttis been harneffide.”

Next we are inſtructed how important it is to be careful of the
manner of guiding the Hawk the firft time it is ready to “nomme ’
a partridge ; how to reward her by giving her the head and neck, after
which on no account is fhe to fly again till fhe has “rejoiced,” z.e.,
fharpened her beak and fhaken her feathers. More medicines follow,
among which is how to get rid of “lies” (lice). ‘Take a piece of
rough blanket and hold it to the fire till it is quite hot; wrap the
hawk therein, and without hurting hold her ‘foftely and ftylly’ in your
hands, and all the vermin will creep into the cloth.“ A happy thought
this !

The Geffe,” or ftrip of leather by which the Hawk is held when
carrying her on the hand, is next defcribed, together with the creance
or long line. More medicines ftill, and then how to treat Hawks when
“in mew,” or moulting, a matter of great importance. To promote

26 The Subjects Treated.

“mewing give the flefh of a kid, a young fwan, and efpecially rats
flesh; ftewed adders are alfo ſtrongly recommended, or chickens which
have been fed upon wheat foaked in broth of vipers.

Gout feems a common difease in various parts of the Hawk’s body,
which may be known by {welling and ‘“ungladnefs ;” alfo rheum and
fever and blains and agrum, which laft is cured by a red-hot filver
needle thruft into the noftrils. Botches in the jaw fhould be “kutte
with a knyfe.” More terms follow for various habits and actions, the
laſt paragraph being upon the variety of Bells ufed for Hawks. There
fhould be two, one a “‘femytoyn” (femitone) below the other. The
Bells of Melen (Milan?) were the beft, but,” ſays the author, “there
be now ufed Dutchland bells, of a town called durdright (Dordrecht),
and they be paffing good, fonowre (ſonorous) of ringing in ſhrillneſs,
and well laſting.“

The whole ends with a lift of various fpecies of Hawks and their
appropriatenefs to the various ftations of life, among which are—

An Eagle for an Emperor. A Merlyon for a Lady.
A Gerfalcon for a King. A Gofhawk for a Yeoman.
A Peregrine for an Earl. A Sparehawk for a Prieſt.

A Mufkyte for ‘an holiwater clerke.”

The fecond treatife is upon Hunting, and has a fhort preface, which
probably came, like the firft, from the pen of the Schoolmaſter.

The work is all in metre, and evidently intended for boys to learn
by heart. It begins by telling ‘my dere chylde” the various kinds
of beaft to be hunted; the changes of name they take as they grow
older; the variety of horns ; how to fkin and diſmember; the various
cries and noifes to be uſed; the feafons of hunting various beaſts.

Then follow inſtructions how to hunt the Hare, and what to fay
to the hounds, who muft always be addreffed in French, as arere!“
when he enters the kennel-door; “this is the firft word, my fon, of
venery.” Sa fa cy auaunt,” “Sweff mon amy sweff,” and other fimilar
cries are noted down. fome to be fhouted twice only and fome thrice,

the chief cry being So how.” The knowledge of when and how often
thefe cries fhould be ufed was mott important, as their proper ufe would
bring worſhip among all men.” Here, apparently, in the midſt of
one effay, another is interpolated, and we are treated to a portion of
fome old dialogue like The Mafter of the Hunt,“ in which the
“Man” afks all forts of queftions and the Mafter” replies. It might
indeed be dubbed The Hunter's Catechifm.” This occupies eight
pages, and then we fall back upon the original rhyme again and the
inftructions of the Dame to “my childe,” ending with the Explicit”
of Dam Julyans Barnes. Some leaves remaining to be filled up, the
moral and other fentences, as already defcribed at page 21, were added.

Perhaps the third treatiſe upon Coat Armour and the Blafon of
Arms is the moft interefting portion of the book. The quaintnefs of
fome of the explanations is very amufing, and many people will
find more points of fympathy, both hiftorical and technical, with this
than with the others.

The headline, Incipit Liber Armorum,” gives us at once the
title of the manufcript from which the text was compiled. Heraldry
Run Mad” might indeed have been an appropriate title for this, as
well as all fimilar tractates; for the author, in his anxiety to honour
the fcience, does not fcruple to take the reader back hiftorically not to
Noah only, but to Adam, whofe ſpade, he tells us, was the firſt fhield
in Heraldry, and who was the firft to bear Coat Armour. The argu-
ment, if it may fo be called, is:—All “gentilnes” comes from God;
there were originally in heaven ten Orders of Angels bearing Coat
Armour, but now only nine, Lucifer with “mylionys of aungelis”
having fallen out of heaven into hell and other places. As a bond-
man might fay that all men come from Adam, fo might Lucifer fay he
and his angels came from heaven.

Cain, for his wickednefs, was the firft churl, and all his offfpring
were churls alfo by the curfe of God. Seth, on the other hand, was
a gentleman by his father’s bleſſing; Noah, too, was a gentleman by
nature, but of his three fons, “Sem, Cham, and Jafeth, Cham, for

28 The Subjects Treated.

his unfilial conduct, was made ‘‘ungentle.” The addrefs of Noah to
his three fons is curious, and is thus fupplemented :—

Of the offfpring of the gentleman Japhet came Abraham, Mofes
Aaron, and the prophets, and alfo the King of the right line of Mary,
of whom that gentleman Jefus was born, very God and man, after his
manhood King of the land of Judah and of Jews, a gentleman by his
mother Mary, and Prince of Coat Armour.”

Some fay that Coat Armour began at the fiege of Troy, but it
was of far greater antiquity than that, and was founded upon the nine
Orders of Angels, who were crowned each with a diadem of precious
ftones—the Topaz (truth), Smaragdus (hardihood), Amethyſt (chivalry),
Loys (powerful), Ruby (courageous), Sapphire (wifdom), Diamond, a
black ftone (durable), Carbuncle (doughty and glorious). Theſe
reprefent Gentleman, Squire, Knight, Baron, Lord, Earl, Marquis,
Duke, and Prince. Here we probably have the origin of the fhape
of various crowns and coronets. Everything is treated in nines, and
the nine virtues and nine vices of gentlenefs follow, with nine rejoic-
ings, nine articles that every knight fhould keep, and nine manner of
gentlemen, in which we learn that the Evangelifts and Apoftles were
all gentlemen of the right line of that worthy conqueror, Judas
Machabeus, who in courfe of time had fallen to labour, and fo were
not called gentlemen. The four doctors of the Church—St. Jerome
Ambrofe, Auguftine, and Gregory—were alfo gentlemen of blood and
of Coat Armour. There are nine differences of Coat Armour and nine
quadrats, all of which are explained. The Blafyng of Arms” comes
next, the preface to which is by the author, and not by the printer.
It begins with the varieties of the Crofs as borne in arms, each being
illuftrated by a rude woodcut printed in its proper colours, and the
blafon, or technical defcription of each is given in Latin, French,
and Englifh. All varieties of arms follow, with the myfteries of
bends, engrail, borders, chequers, balls, cakes, rings, &c., offering
but little which can be quoted, but forming an interefting and ufefu.
book of reference.

CHAPTER IV.

Philology.

HERE is a ſtrongly marked individuality in the ſpelling
| throughout all the treatiſes in this work. If the
Hunting rhymes belong to Dam Julyans, their ortho-
graphy, like the profe portions, is that of the School-

mafter, who appears to have been a North-countryman,
many words leading to that conclufion. The formation of the plural
by adding the letters “is” or “ys” ftrikes the attention at once. Thus
the plural of bells is bellis; egg, eggis; vetch, fetchis; fulmert, ful-
mertis; hawk, hawkys; herd, herdys; person, personys, and so on.
The change of a y at the end of a word to anz is common, as onli,
fofteli, unthrefti ; and for if; algate ; awth for all the; bowke; chylder ;
clepit ; clees; knaw ; ken; yowre; and many others are Northern. As
might be expected, many Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman words now
obfolete are found, fuch as benymme, blynne, byzete, canell, clepit,
colver, dagon, gobbit, kawe, kydde, liggen, merde, nafethrils, nym,*
raton, and many others.

The following vocabulary will fhow the chief words in which
peculiarity of ſpelling or dialect are noticeable :—

We have now traced the various aſpects in which this curious work
may be viewed. There is not one of them that would not repay
much deeper ftudy, and the reader will, doubtlefs, fympathife with
the writer in the wifh that more could be difcovered concerning the
{choolmafter-printer. That his pioneer attempts to eftablifh a printing
prefs met with many difcouragements was a matter of courfe; and,
doubtlefs, he had many technical, bufinefs, and even focial difficulties
to overcome; for a reading public had to be created and patronage
was fcantily afforded. Neverthelefs he ftruggled on for at leaft feven |
years, as we learn from the dates on his books, and whatever may have
been his ſhortcomings, either as author or as printer, the fact of his having
been one of the earlieft promoters in this country of the grandeft
difcovery which the mind of man has yet made, will unite all of us
in honouring the memory and reſpecting the name, fhadowy though it
be, of the “Scole mayſter of St. Albon.”
